would like to send a HUGE THANK YOU to Sebring Firemen Inc. 🚒👏
Without your unwavering support and help with our 🍗 Chicken Dinner Fundraiser 🍗, we would not have been able to raise an amazing 💰 $16,000 💰 for our athletic programs!
Those very, very early mornings spent cooking chickens 😴🔥 were truly appreciated, and every lost hour of sleep was well worth it for our students! ⚽🏐🏀🏈📣🥎
❤️ We couldn’t do it without you! ❤️

SMS staff were treated to a 🚋 trolley ride downtown to enjoy a ☕ hot or cold drink and a 🍪 sweet treat.
Thank you to our SMS Admin Angie Spencer and Courtney Germaine who worked with our PTO members and SMS families 💙 for creating this joyful little sneak-away moment for our staff. A special shoutout to our Elf Chauffeur, Matt Gose 🎅🚋 for making the ride extra magical!
We also extend a big thank you to Sophie’s Café, Sugar Blossoms Bakery, and Sweetwater Coffee 🧁☕ for partnering with them to provide these sweet and energizing treats. Downtown Sebring was a magical destination. ✨
